In Anne Cleeland's book, Murder in Retribution, Kathleen Doyle and Lord Acton find out that 'retribution may be best left to fate'. When a rash of underworld murders shatters London's normally austere facade, Doyle sets out to investigate the escalating turf war. Doyle uncovers a seedy world where fractious member of the Russian mafia and an Irish terrorist group are fighting for control of a lucrative underground business. Doyle and Acton's married relationship has now come to light at the CID Headquarters and the gossip is flying. Thank goodness for all the murders as the attention is drawn away from them.

I still am wondering about this relationship between Doyle and Acton. In the first book of the series Acton is stalking Doyle and in this book Acton is murdering those who get in his wife's way. I don't think I will be continuing with this Romantic/Mystery series because of this strange relationship. I think Anne Cleeland needs to rethink this relationship as it may turn off readers. I know it has done that to me but I suggest that you may want to read this series for yourself and see how you feel about it.
